在对2000名10-16岁的美国儿童进行的全国随机抽样中，研究发现，既往受害经历(性和非性)会增加儿童后来经历儿童性虐待(CSA)的风险。即使在控制了背景变量(儿童的性别、种族、年龄、地理位置、与父母的关系质量以及家庭社区中的相对暴力水平)的情况下，先前的受害情况仍会预测随后的CSA。此外，家庭成员的既往受害也预示着后来的CSA。在经历过CSA的儿童中，即使在模型中包括了人口因素和CSA事件的特征(例如，攻击的严重程度、伤害的严重程度、对死亡的恐惧或严重伤害)之后，先前的受害增加了创伤后应激症状的水平。这些结果表明，先前的受害是一个需要由设计CSA预防干预的教育工作者和为性虐待儿童受害者提供咨询的精神健康专业人员解决的因素。
The experience of prior victimization (sexual and nonsexual) was found to increase children's risk for experiencing later child sexual abuse (CSA) in a national random sample of 2,000 American children aged 10-16 years. Prior victimization predicted subsequent CSA even when background variables (child's gender, race, age, geographic location, quality of relationship with parent's, and relative level of violence in the home community) were controlled for. In addition, the prior victimization of a family member also predicted later CSA. Among children who experienced CSA, prior victimization increased the level of post-traumatic stress symptomatology, even after demographic factors and characteristics of the CSA episode (e.g., severity of the assault, severity of injury, fear of death or serious injury) were included in the model. These results suggest that prior victimization is a factor that needs to be addressed by educators who design CSA prevention interventions and by mental health professionals who counsel child victims of sexual abuse.
